What is bend it like beckham about?

Question

The movie bend it like beckham what is it about?

Answer 1

An Indian family in West London tries to raise their youngest daughter Jess (Parminder Nagra) traditionally, honing her domestic skills and teaching her how to cook Punjab dinners--both meat and vegetarian. Jess' ambitions, however, are somewhat less orthodox: she wants to play soccer. And why shouldn't she? Jess not only has the talent to bend the ball like Beckham, she also has the tenacity to bend the gender rules governing her favorite sport. But her parents don't think soccer is feminine and would prefer she focus on school and marriage, like her older sister Pinky. But Jess gets an offer she can't refuse from Jules (Keira Knightley), who recruits her for a local girls' soccer team, the Hounslow Harriers. Jess secretly joins the team but tells her parents she has landed a part-time job at the local HMV record store instead. Her web of lies quickly turns into a modern comedy of errors as her parents suspect she is sneaking around with a boy, and Jules' parents assume the girls are involved in a lesbian relationship.

Answer 2

A comedy about bending the rules to reach your goal, Bend It Like Beckham explores the world of women's football, from kick-abouts in the park to freekicks in the Final. Set in Hounslow, West London and Hamburg, the film follows two 18 year olds with their hearts set on a future in professional soccer. Heart-stopping talent doesn't seem to be enough when your parents want you to hang up your football boots, find a nice boyfriend and learn to cook the perfect chapatti.

Answer 3

Its about:

An Indian family in London tries to raise their soccer-playing daughter in a traditional way. Unlike her traditional older sister, Pinky, who is preparing for a lavish Indian wedding and a lifetime of cooking the perfect chapati, Jess dreams of playing soccer professionally, like her hero David Beckham. Wholeheartedly against Jess’ unorthodox ambition, her parents eventually reveal that their reservations have more to do with protecting her, than with holding her back. When Jess is forced to make a choice between tradition and her beloved sport, her family must decide whether to let her chase her dream--and a soccer ball--or follow a more orthodox path.
